Get ready to dive into Portugal's culture!

Portugal isn’t just a country—it’s a sensory experience of sun, sea, and innovation, with 850 km of coastline, 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, and landscapes that change around every bend. Small in size but vast in identity, it blends centuries of history with a contemporary energy that captivates every visitor… and makes you want to stay.

And that identity is best savored on a plate: Portuguese cuisine reflects the soul of the country—rich, authentic, and full of flavor. From iconic dishes like bacalhau (salted cod) and polvo à lagareiro (octopus with olive oil) to irresistible petiscos (Portuguese tapas), such as pastéis de bacalhau (codfish fritters), bifinhos pica-pau (tender beef bites), or amêijoas à Bulhão Pato (clams in garlic sauce), there’s always something new to discover. And no visit is complete without the sweet embrace of a warm pastel de nata (custard tart), best paired with a strong Portuguese coffee.

Ready to fall in love? Visit Portugal and turn every moment—and every bite—into a celebration!

Lisbon is a vibrant city full of contrasts. Take the opportunity to explore the historic center: wander through the streets of Alfama, enjoy the view from Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, or take a tram ride up to São Jorge Castle. For a more cosmopolitan atmosphere, Discover Lisbon in the Chiado and Baixa districts, where shops, galleries, and lively urban energy await. If time allows, a quick trip to Belém is always worthwhile—between iconic monuments, serene gardens, and golden sunsets over the Tagus River.

Parque das Nações is one of Lisbon’s most modern and pleasant areas – ideal for relaxing between event sessions. You can walk along the Tagus River, ride the cable car, visit the Lisbon Oceanarium, or explore the interactive exhibits at Pavilhão do Conhecimento. The area also features green spaces, outdoor terraces, and varied shopping options, perfect for a quick break or spending extra time without leaving the vicinity.
